UT Driver's License/ID Card

If you have a valid driver's license from your previous state, you'll need to transfer it for a UT driver's license once you become a resident of the state. You'll need to visit your local
UT DPS office in person, surrender your out-of-state driver's license, pay the fee, and provide any other required documents. You will also be required to pass the written knowledge exam.

NOTE: If you need a commercial driver's license (CDL), follow the instructions on our Applying for a New CDL page.

Teen Drivers

If you're a teenager, you will need to satisfy the requirements of the Utah graduated driver's licensing (GDL) program before you will be eligible for a full driver's license. Check out our section on
Applying for a New License (Teen Drivers) for complete details.

Identification Cards

Plan on living in Utah, but not driving? Then you'll want to obtain a Utah identification card. In order to get one, you'll need to provide some documents and pay the required fee. We tell you everything you need to bring with you to the
UT DPS office on our Identification Cards in Utah page.

Special Vehicles

If you have a unique vehicle, such as something driven off-road, motorhomes, moped, or trailers, you'll also need to register it, but the process varies a bit. You can find more information on our
Special Vehicles in Utah page.

Organ Donor & Voter Registration

If you'd like to be a registered
organ donor, you will need to register once you become a Utah resident. This applies to you even if you were registered in your previous state, as each state keeps its own registry. To learn more about organ donation or to register today, visit our Organ Donation page.

Similarly, if you would like to be able to
vote in the next election, you'll need to register, even if you were a registered voter in your previous state. Make sure you register by the deadline to make sure you won't be turned away at the polling booth. Visit our Voter Registration in Utah page for instructions.

Military Members Stationed in Utah

If you're an active-duty member of the U.S. military, some of the requirements regarding driver's licensing and vehicle registration may not apply to you. You'll find some helpful information on our
Drivers in the Military page.
